Complaints Procedure (Brief version)

If someone is unhappy with something that happens on a training event, in the first instance they would be asked to complain to the trainer/facilitator concerned and see if they can address their concerns immediately.

If this is not possible, the complainant should write to the Director of Pink Therapy who undertakes to respond in writing within ten days after consulting with the trainer concerned.

If the complainant is still unhappy, they could appeal to Pink Therapy’s External Moderator who is currently Ms Carmen Ablack for an independent view of the matter.

Address for Complaints:

General Complaints About Service

In the first instance, any problems or concerns should be taken to the member of staff most directly concerned. If it is not possible or appropriate to do so, the Course Supervisor or failing this, the Course Director. If resolution cannot be reached, an approach may be made to the External Moderator.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY

Aim of the Policy

Pink Therapy recognises that, in our society, groups and individuals have been and continue to be discriminated against on the basis of race, class, gender, disability, religion, sexuality, age or marital status.

The aim of this policy is therefore to ensure that no members of the public, trainees or staff experience less favourable treatment on the grounds stated above.

People coming into the environment of Pink Therapy and those who are clients or therapists trained by us have a right to have their differences

welcomed, respected and understood.

Equal Opportunities and the world of psychologyWe recognise particular dangers in the world of psychology that external discrimination and its effects can be attributed wrongly to an individual’s family background or their own internal psychological mechanisms.

Direct and indirect discrimination

We need to clarify that discrimination can be both direct and indirect:

Direct discrimination takes place when a person is treated less favourably than others (in the same circumstances) on the grounds of race, class, gender, disability, religion, sexuality, age or marital status.

Indirect discrimination means applying conditions or requirements which adversely affect one group more than another.P
